ASSIGNQR T0 JOHNSON' METAL SCREEN Applieationled January 21, 1930. Serial-No. 422,428. l

T-his Iinvention relates to screens and'has relation more particularly to an inside screen for use with the frame of a easement window and whereinthe screen is provided with an opening through which is adapted to be disposed an` operating memberfor. 'a locking mechanism or the like when the sash or-ventilator is closed. f f

The invention has foll an object to provide a iioating baflie carried by 'they screen and engaged with the screen ment, said bale being adapted to snugly engage a portion of the operating handle,said baffle operating to compensation. for variations which may occur to rassurezan effective fly-tight job.

The invention consists in the details of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts of my 1mscreen whereby certain important attained and the device renless expensive and otherwise and advantageous for use,

proved advantages are mre convenient as' will be hereinafter more fully set forth.

The novel features of my inventionwill hereinafter be definitely claimed.

In order that my invention may be thev better understood, I will now proceed to describe the same with reference to the accompanying drawing, wherein Figure 1 is a fragmentary elevational view of a screen having a baie applied thereto constructed in accordance with an `embodiment of the invention with an operating han- Aidle or the like disposed through said baie;

Figure 2 is a sectional view taken sub- `of Figure 1; Figure 3 is a view in rear elevation of the features of the frame and operating handle or the like omitted. v Y

The invention, as herein disclosed, is particularly adapted for use with a window structure of ending application of Theodore Johnson, erial No. 358,389 filedl April 26, 1929. The screen S is preferably supported in proper position with respect to the frame F in the same manner as set plication although itis to be understood that for universal move- -tion of the head 6 rotatabl yis provided with the lugs 10 ily bent to the `type as embodied in the forth in such prior apy it is not desired to limit the present invention to any particular means of maintaining the screen in position. i

The' cloth of the screen S at a desired point thereon is provided witha relatively small opening 1, the portion of the cloth defining said opening being reinforced by the annular plates 2 and 3. The outer plate 2 has its' inner marginal portion reverted, as atl 4, said reverted portion 4. extending through the opening 1 and having clamping engagement with the inner plate. 3 whereby the plates 2 and 3 are effectively maintained in position to afford a binding.

Arranged. within 5, herein disclosed :as a continuous annular member, the interior diameter of which being such as to snugly receive the inner porsupported by a vertical member or stile 7 o the frame F and which head 6 operatively carries a locking disc or member 8 for engagement ment sash or ventilator to lock the same in fully closed position. of the baie 5 is less than'the'diameter of the opening 1 so that the bale ,5 is free to have independent and universal movement in any direction within compensate or take care of any variations which may .occur `with respect to the axial centers of the baie 5 and that portion of the head 6 within saidv bale. The outer marginalpertion of the baie' is provided lwith an outstanding continuousannular flange 9 of a length to lap at all times the outer annular plate 2,'thus assuring an effective flytight job.

The inner marginal portion of the bale at i circumferentially ltherearound which are readlap the inner plate'3` whereby the baflie 5 after being applied is effectively held against displacement. These lugs 10 are of a length lto maintain this lapping relation with respect to the plate 3 irrespective of the position of the baie 5 with respect to the margin of the opening 1 in the screen.

points spaced with a case- It is believed to be understood that the head 4 the opening 1 is a baie, 65

said opening 1 in order to 6 constitutes a portion of an operating mem- 10e ber or handle for this disc 8 or mayalso be denoted From the foregoing description it yis .also be obvious that or locking member as an actuator.

thought to be obvious that a screen constructed in accordance with my invention is particularly well adapted for use by reason of the convenience and facility with which it may be assembled and operated, and it will my invention is susceptible of some change and modification without departing from the. principles and spirit thereof and for this reason I do not wishl to be understood as limiting myself to the precise arrangement and formation of the several parts herein shown in carrying outvmy invention in practice except as hereinafter claimed.

1. lA window screen cloth having an opening, and a floating baiiie within said opening.

2. A window screen cloth havingan opening, a baie positioned within` the opening of the cloth, the size of the baiie being such to permit the baille to have independent universal movement within the opening, and means for retaining the balile in applied position bridging at all times the space between the blalll and the margin of the opening in the c ot 3. A window screen cloth having an opening, a baille positioned within the opening of the cloth, the size of thebaiile being such to permit the baffle to have independent universal movement within the opening, a contin-` u ous flange carried` by the baffle and at all times la ping the marginal portion of the cloth defining the opening in the cloth.

4. A window screen cloth having an'open-v ing, a baile positioned within the opening of the cloth, the size of the baiie being such to permit the baie to have independent universal movement within the opening, a flange carried by the baffle and lapping at all times the face of the marginal portion of the cloth defining the opening, and means carried by the baile lapping the opposite face of said marginal portion of the cloth and coacting with the flange to hold the baille in applied position. v e

5. A window screen cloth having an opening and a floating baille carried by the cloth, sald baflie having anI opening at all times. in communication with the opening in the cloth.

6. A window screen cloth having an opening .and a floating baffle carried by the cloth having an opening at all times within the field of the opening in the cloth. l

7. The combination with a window screen cloth having an opening, a member insertable through said opening and a baile surrounding said part 4when extended through the opening in the cloth to subsantially close the.

space between said part and the margin of the wire cloth deliningthe opening thereof. .8. A window screen cloth having an opening, a floating bailie carried by the cloth and coacting with the opening.

ing, a balile associated with said opening, and means for retaining the baie in applied posi- -tion upon the cloth, said. means allowing the baffle to have universal movement.

In testimony whereof I hereunto aflix my slgnature.
